Before Xu Weilai could say anything, Mr. Zuo added, “Also, with your abilities, a piece of news won’t take you much time and you’ll be able to leave the country soon. So, staying here during this period of time won’t have much of an impact, right?”
Apart from Zuo Si, who lived across the door and who she didn’t want to have any interactions with, it really didn’t have much of an impact.
Xu Weilai was someone who didn’t like to trouble others. Big Boss had already helped her a lot, and since he had already said so, she really couldn’t say anything else or say that she wanted to change her residence.
He wasn’t wrong either. She would leave the country very soon, so there was no need for her to stay for such a short period of time. If she had the time to fuss, she might as well find the news as soon as possible.
In the end, Xu Weilai was persuaded. She didn’t insist anymore and said softly, “Okay, then.”
By the time she ended the call with her boss, the moving company had already moved all of her potted plants up. She asked them to help move them to the balcony, and then settled the final payment with them. Before the worker left, he even reminded her, “Dear, remember to give us a five-star review!”
She nodded repeatedly. “Okay.”
After they left, she closed the door. After all, she was staying as a guest, so she didn’t stay in the master bedroom. Instead, she dragged her luggage to the guest room.
She piled the two big boxes in the corner and didn’t open them. The small boxes contained her simple daily necessities. She only opened one and took out the things inside.
Because someone came to clean the apartment yesterday, everything was very clean. Xu Weilai walked around and found that there was nothing to clean. She went to the balcony and placed her potted plants one by one where the balcony could shine and filled them with clean water. She watered all of them.
In reality, she didn’t know why she brought these out. When she left the country, she wouldn’t be able to take these things away. It was just that… she probably wanted the ritual sense of a clean start.
As for why she needed a sense of ritual, at the end of the day, it was just psychological comfort.
A person who really wanted the ritual sense of a clean start wouldn’t even say goodbye, just like Gu Yu did.
She acted hesitant and pretentious because what she wanted was a word of redemption.
The sun was gradually setting. Xu Weilai returned to her room and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past six o’clock. She hadn’t eaten anything for almost the entire day. Now that her stomach was empty, she lifted her feet and walked towards the kitchen.
After all, no one had lived here for more than ten years, so there was nothing in the kitchen, and the refrigerator was even more empty.
Xu Weilai didn’t want to eat takeout, but she was going to stay here for a period of time anyway, so she still had to prepare the pots, pans and all kinds of fresh groceries.
She changed into a comfortable casual outfit, carried her bag, and went out.
When she lived in Gu Yu’s apartment, she often went to the big supermarket there to buy fresh groceries. That supermarket was the closest to this area, so after she got in the car, she drove to that supermarket.
Because she was familiar with the road, Xu Weilai quickly took the things she needed, put them into the shopping cart, and pushed them to the checkout. Then, she walked out with big bags in both hands.
As she walked towards her car, a car passed by.
Because it was downtown, the speed of the car wasn’t fast. When she looked over, at a glance, she could recognize that it was Gu Yu’s car.
Her footsteps slowed slightly.
The strange thing was that the apartment was clearly on the right, but the car was driving towards the left.
